My dear sister Pinkie Pie,
I will be arriving in Ponyville tomorrow.

Please be on time. I'll be bringing somepony special I'd like you to meet.
I think you will be surprised.
Sincerely,
Emp- Your sister Maud

Maud is scary, Sombra is quirky, and I'm fairly certain Pinkie just offended every celiac and diabetic in the fandom.
I take this over the canon ship any day
And then you get in to the town itself
This is the most epic ship. I wish I could see it on the show, but they didn't have to kill him and give her someone who likes sticks.
This part was great & I love that you were trying to depict Maude as PINKIE sees her.
You've done a great job of catching Maude's voice here.
I was surprised at how relatable you made this seem while maintaining the voice of each character so well. Bravo!
Well done, this was great to read and I love how you wrote Sombra.
This is a ship that I didn't know needed.
Of course Rarity would be rooting for them. She's a crystal and rock connossieur herself, after all
Still a better boyfriend than Mudbriar.
This is a million times better than that stick loving retard Maud gets with in the series.
Oh, and the idea of Maud not only being the pants of the relationship, but also the alpha in bed is amazing
Fuck mudbriar this is the best crackship ever and I can only wish it was cannon
Okay, that was…. Curiously spectacular. I wish I could write that well.
This is Tatewaki Kuno x Nabiki Tendo, but with hooves. I half expect Sombra to whip out a wad of cash and slap someone with it. I would say he'd do that with a sack of bits, but that would be felony assault.
My new favourite crackship
That's, uh.... mhmm. Yep.
I can believe that Sombra is secretly a sub, I can believe it any day of the week. But the thumbs thing? Nah, that's not Sommy K. Still, hilarious story that got me blushing more than most porn on this site. Perhaps goes too far for a T rating, but I guess you're just barely skirting the line, aren't ya?
...ya know, if someone just told me "Sombra x Maud" as a ship...I'd genuinely consider it absurd.
Then again, I wrote a story shipping Shantae with Godzilla, so I'm not one to talk.
This was adorable and hilarious, and I am definitely going to reread this when I need a cute laugh.

As unexpected as it is, you wrote the Sombra/Maud pairing in an oddly believable and adorable way. It reminds me of that story where Silverstream and Sombra become friends through their love of stairs.
Pinkie’s narration and POV were fantastic, too. They read very much like her style of talking without exaggerating who she is. Awesome job on making such a funny and entertaining story!
Oh my.
I ******* love this! You wrote it so **** well!
Wait.....think i've read that one around here on fimfic before.....
This was great, love to seeing more fics with Sombra. Maud was hilarious and Pinkie felt totally in character.
When Sombra is actually spelled K-A-R-E-N.

King of All Realms in Equestria and the North
This is what a reformed, or at least restrained, Sombra would be like. I think he would make a great character in his own right.
When you forget about your plans for world domination because you want your date to be perfect...you know you're in love.
Sombra vs. Limestone.
This is something I would really love to read about.
A lot of people think this is better than Mudbriar.
And it is. Because this romance doesn't feel contrived or shoe-horned. Sombra is far from a saint, but he shows actual devotion to Maud. Maud, in turn, shows actual devotion to him, along with some teasing.
What a delightful crackship this was! I'm glad Pinkie approves.
And I liked how you showed how Pinkie understands Maud's more reserved body language.
I absolutely love this ship. Joke or not.
Howdy, hi~!
I have been cackling through this whole story. This ship is completely out of left field and I love it. The implications of their relationship are amazing and I love that Pinkie actually gave Sombra a chance. See this is what I want from a villain romance, the villain in question being themselves with all the jagged edges still present. I like the red flags turning white by the end of it and just the banter between the three characters was absolutely top tier.
Banger fic, definitely an amazing read~!
love Pinkie portmanteaus
hehehe! also just struck me how Pinkie and Maud both have a very interesting relationship with subtext in communication
i mean i was with Marble on this one after "Rock Solid Friendship" but i will refrain from my rant there!
haha, this is funny in retrospect considering what happened with Mudbriar
great pony name
and what a wonderful bit of Pinkie logic here! ah, poor Second Serving!
i do love how perceptive Pinkie is, and how bad her friends are at spy stuff, respectively
auauaugh yes! that is so true about Maud! i love it
ah, i could just watch the world through your Pinkie's eyes all day
indeed!
so true! this is very unlike her!
this is a great Sombra already. my favorite version of him is definitely the campy, overly dramatic supervillain trope in the world of MLP!
perfection
hahaha, perfect!
ooh, definitely a story there!
the trouble with mind control is how would you know if you were under mind control or not?
perhaps they were not so different after all...
augh, this attitude is so perfectly Pinkie!
love Pinkie's humility here
hahaha, calling waitstaff "servants". saying the quiet part out loud, Sombra!
ooh, love this conclusion to the classic Pinkie nickname gag, with Sombra agreeing with Maud without a fuss
given Pinkie's track record with this type of outburst, how could it be anything else?
Sombra is such a Karen
augh, so perfect! i can just hear Maud's deadpan lines here and i love her for them
aww, so true!
hahaha
well, Cadance using shipping as a weapon just makes too much sense! as unfortunate as this pattern for redeeming villains may turn out to be
commentary!
aww, poor Pinkie! she is definitely out of her depth here
huh, Pinkie and Maud have a lot more in common than i realized, reflecting on how her need for dossiers on everypony make her look!
haha, definitely see what Maud would see in Sombra here!
that is what is so great about Maud
love it, definitely will have to use this in something i write at some point!
augh, i am loving Sombra's aristocratic pompousness!
perfection
O_O
O_O
kinda surprised Pinkie would have this attitude, especially growing up with Limestone as a sister!
aww! love the subversion of the trope! exactly what this reformed-villain-romance needs to feel genuine and heartwarming in just the right amount
commentary!
perfect Rarity interjection
haha, love how nonchalant this contrast is
aww, and a nice way to tie up the last loose end. i'm honestly just very impressed with how well this fic navigated through the pitfalls that this kind of ship comes with, and this leaps over the last one perfectly! this is the ship that FlutterCord should have been, but falls all too far short of.
this was such an amazing piece! just so very well-crafted in its parts, and shined to perfection, much like the crystals Sombra is so enamored with. it was just so hilarious throughout, with Maud and Sombra's relationship becoming more believable and more fun with every conversational beat. it was an amazing experience, and just left me in awe of how well you made these characters work together. their chemistry wasn't just having a few traits in common, but rather something that i could feel oozing out of every little interaction between them. that dramatic speech towards the end by Sombra would have made me roll my eyes if i had seen it in any other story, but here it just feels so well-earned and perfect. it made me believe! augh, i am just full of jeal at how amazingly you write these characters!
this piece was one of those pieces that i feel truly honored by its entry into this little contest. thank you so much for it!
Nice.
Can someone dumb this down, me MONKE brain hurt.
Loving Sombra being a big evil ham restrained by love. Can easily 'hear' him as John Demaggios Aquaman. Outrageous!
I can't believe it...
Another Maudbra fic...
I'm gonna add this to the group
Confession: I'm not sure If you know this, but I actually Do ship this...
It's part of my Fanon Universe actually...
can we please get a spinoff of this...
That very unsubtle Buck you to Sheldon Pony got a chuckle out of me

... Why do I get the feeling that may have been my fic?

Basically, "you were technically present for my death and there to cause it, but you didn't really do anything to me directly so I'll tolerate you as an in-law."
Wow. Just wow. Sweet, hilarious, and it's absolutely illegal how much chemistry these two have with each other. Your Maud + Sombra impressed me even more than just how you wrote Sombra.
I love it! Don't think I've ever read another story that tries to keep him this bombastic cartoon villain, and makes it work even in the slightest. But damn did you make it work!
